The Hidden Costs Of DIY Furniture Removal

Deciding to handle furniture removal on your own might seem like a cost-saving decision at first glance. However, there are hidden costs and risks involved in the DIY approach that many don’t consider. Here at Portage Junk Removal, we've seen how these can add up, and we're here to shed some light on them.

 Equipment Rental Costs

• DIY furniture removal often requires special equipment like dollies, straps, or even a truck. Renting these can be expensive, not to mention the time spent picking up and returning rental equipment.

Risk of Injury

• Moving heavy furniture poses injury risks, especially without proper training. Injuries can lead to medical expenses or lost wages if you're unable to work – costs that far outweigh hiring a team for the job.

Time Investment

• Time is valuable. DIY removal can take up much more of your time than anticipated – from planning and physical removal to driving to disposal sites. This time could be better spent on other important activities.

Disposal Fees

• Many are unaware of the fees associated with disposing of old furniture at local dumps or recycling centers. These fees can be surprisingly high, especially for larger items.

Potential Property Damage

• Without the proper techniques, moving bulky items can result in damage to your home, such as scratched floors, dented walls, or broken fixtures. Repairing these damages can be costly.

Environmental Impact

• Improper disposal can harm the environment. Portage Junk Removal services ensure that items are disposed of or recycled properly.
